Sixth, in the prose on the jewel trees, there are five clauses: 1. clarifying the substance of the trees, meaning the forest trees of outflow-free dharmas, which conveys the sense of the establishment of myriad virtues; 2. covered with jewel canopies, namely great compassion universally covering; 3. arising through the power of causes; 4. additionally accomplished by resultant virtues; 5. bringing the reaches of adornment to the utmost. In the verses, there are two stanzas: the first versifies the sovereign ease of resultant practice, and the latter versifies its arising from causal practice. Moreover, these two verses are themselves the trees, because person and dharma are unimpeded. In the second [part], the general conclusion, the demarcations and objects are numerous and difficult to explain exhaustively in detail, so it generally says 'each and every'. However, within each single [one], the adornments are still numerous, so it generally says 'in dust-mote numbers'. Furthermore, since the distinctions of adornment are difficult to manifest, it uniformly says 'pure', which can be understood.
